First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computerized method for identifying a similar user identifier comprising:
- receiving, at a processing circuit, history data indicative of webpages visited by a set of user identifiers;
analyzing, by the processing circuit, the history data to identify a product category based in part on a topic of the webpages, the product category corresponding to a specific manufacturer or a specific product from the manufacturer;
associating, by the processing circuit, the product category with the user identifiers in the set;
identifying, by the processing circuit, a user identifier as being a similar user identifier to the user identifiers in the set based in part on a product category associated with the user identifier and based in part on the product category associated with the user identifiers in the set; and
providing, by the processing circuit, an indication of the similar user identifier.

Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying a similar user identifier include analyzing history data indicative of webpages visited by a set of user identifiers. A product category corresponding to a specific manufacturer or a specific product from the manufacturer may be identified using the history data and associated with the set of user identifiers. A user identifier may be identified as being similar to those in the set based in part on the user identifier also being associated with the product category.
